It requires a lot of courage to follow one’s own Inner Self. We may feel unaccompanied but we will never have to feel disgraceful. It will be a misfortune if we mute our Inner Self. Never again it can gain its own Voice and till then we will be transformed from a rational animal to an animal. “A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.” – George Bernard Shaw
